Malaysia 2009 - Installation of Yamtuan of Negeri Sembilan

Pos Malaysia released a set of three stamps on October 26, 2009 to commemorate the installation of Yamtuan of Negeri Sembilan. This issue is important as it signifies the use of Tuanku Muhriz portrait in the next coming issue of state definitive (re-issue of Garden Flower stamps). This is to replace the late Tuanku Jaafar portrait in the state definitive issue for Negeri Sembilan.

Postage Due Stamps - Serial Numbers

The currently used postage due stamps was issued more than 20 years ago. Lately, I obtained some of the latest serial numbers for denominations 10c, 20c and 50c. The latest serial number for 10c and 20c is 2004/02, and for 50c is 2005/01. You may view other serial numbers for these stamps here.



Malaysia 2009 - Rights of the Child

Pos Malaysia released a set of 5 stamps on October 9, 2009 to commemorate 20th Anniversary of Convention on the Rights of the Child. One of the stamps with denomination RM1 is special because the stamp bares braille emboss. This is the first time for Malaysian stamp to have braille emboss. These stamps have also the inscription of UNICEF logo. They are simply gorgeous, I think.

The Largest Flower - Rafflesia arnoldii

There are over 20 Rafflesia species in the world. Rafflesia arnoldii is the largest flower species among the Rafflesia species. In fact, R. arnoldii is the largest flower in the world with diameter of the flower measuring up to 150cm. I recently acquired a stamp of Indonesia showing R. arnoldii. The stamp is part of the 10 stamp set of Indonesia-Japan joint issue released on April 15, 2008.

You may view some other Rafflesia stamps in my collection here.
